What are the possible reasons behind a high polydispersity index (PDI) in polyglycerol sebacate (PGS) prepolymer?

16 December 2023 1 3K Report

Hi everyone,

I'd be thankful if anyone having experience in polyglycerol sebacate synthesis could tell me what parameters could lead to a high PDI?

thanks

Ulf Nobbmann

In general, PDI values may be reduced with sample preparation steps like filtration or centrifugation. For the particular sample system, there may be some useful information in Article Optimization of Poly(glycerol sebacate) Synthesis for Biomed...
